“I found no bison,” said the man, “but I saw something in the hills which caused me to hide my face.”
And Sun Eyes looked keenly at the man, for she thought it was some wakunda he had seen.
“Why do you speak in a strange voice?” said she; and she trembled as she said it.
“He who has seen something is never the same again!” said he.
And while the woman wondered the two ate together. And as the man ate he laughed very pleasantly at times like a man who is very glad.
“Why do you laugh, Mad Buffalo?” said the woman.
“Because I was very hungry for something, and I have it now,” said the man.
And when he had ceased eating he sang glad songs, and again the woman questioned.
“I sing because of what I saw in the hills,” said he.
And this seemed very strange to the woman. But it is not allowed that one should question a man who has seen a wakunda.
